Is pain during ejaculation stopping you from having sex? It doesn’t have to.

You don't have to stop having sex or push through the pain: there are effective treatment options.

What is Painful Ejaculation? You might experience burning, stabbing, aching, or sharp sensations around the pubic bone, lower abdomen, penis, urethral opening, testicles, or rectum. It's common not to be able to precisely describe the pain or pinpoint its origin. Feeling that the pain shifts or affects various areas is also usual.

What Can Cause Pain During Orgasm?

• Infections such as prostatitis, urethritis, and sexually transmitted diseases

• Surgical procedures like radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)

• Conditions like chronic pelvic pain syndrome and ejaculatory duct blockage

• Prostate cancer

• Nerve damage or injury in the penis

• Certain medications like antidepressants

• Remember, pain isn't solely physical! Emotional factors, partner dynamics, or environmental cues can also trigger pain

What To Do If You Experience Pain During Ejaculation Seek guidance from a healthcare professional to diagnose and treat any underlying conditions. After a thorough examination, a pelvic floor physical or occupational therapist can collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan and functional home program, helping you become comfortable with using tools and strategies at home.
